Keeping in Touch with Ethan & Olivia

Sunday, July 30, 2006



I thought that it was hot here a couple of weeks ago, but the past couple of days have been even worse!! As a result, we have not been doing very much.

On Tuesday, Olivia and I went to Toronto. I had to sign some papers at work and we have lunch with Scott. We went to the park after we picked Ethan up from school, tried Olivia in the swing - she wasn't a huge fan!

On Wednesday, Nana and Carly came to visit. We went shopping at Sherway Gardens. Carly gave Nana and I a heart attack when she disappeared for about 20 minutes. She "disappeared" into her favourite store Claire's. Luckily we found her!

On Thursday, Carly and I went with the kids swimming at Bronte Creek. We only stayed for a little while because it was hot and Olivia was a little bit cranky (she is getting her two front teeth). We went to soccer but were only there for about 10 minutes because of rain and thunder.

On Friday, we just did some errands. Ethan played with Aidan for a little while at night. We bought a special incentive chart for Ethan to encourage him to listen! So far, hasn't worked to well, what he likes to do is not listen until the punishment (i.e. - time out or taking toys away) and then he is always "ready to listen".

On Saturday, Scott went golfing and to a wedding (Chris Cairns) in Muskoka, so it was just me and the kids. It was Nana's birthday, so we went to see her in St. Catharines for a couple of hours. Ethan was a mess for most of the day - had a fever. The only thing that helped was Tylenol. It made for a very long day!! I ended up taking him to the wallk-in clinic because he behaviour was so out of character. Once we got there, he was his old self, making new friends with the other patients. He asks everyone what their name is and what are they doing - it's funny to see the surprised look on people's faces!!

Today, we did some more errands while Scott was out at soccer and really just hung out at home for the rest of the day - nothing too exciting.
